The Nine Lives of Catseye Gomez

By Simon Hawke

Catseye, P.I.Name's Gomez. I'm a cat. And yeah, I talk. Because in an age of magic, nothing's quite what it seems. When you combine magic with genetic engineering, predators and crooks take on a thousand different forms. So do the good guys. Denver was a new town, new turf for an old stray tom like me. I came in search of a fresh start, but what I found was criminal. It all began when Susan Jacobs, an ambitious and beautiful young broadcaster, met up with a car bomb that blew a lot more than her ratings sky high. After what happened in New Mexico, I needed a case like this like I needed a big hairball. But Susan Jacobs had a sexy little calico whose lambent golden eyes had a look in them that made it really hard to just say no....So together with a Zippo-snapping, studded leather rebel cop named Leventhal, I'm prowling the streets and alleys of the Mile High City among political whack-jobs, religious nuts, media weasels, talking snakes, gutter sorcerers and wizard wannabes, on a cat-and-mouse hunt for a killer. And when I find out who it is, the fur is really gonna fly...

Customer Reviews

Loved this book.

I first read it years and years ago when I was (probably too) young and I absolutely loved it. I just got it again and I can't wait to reread it! I think Gomez was the one who sparked my eternal love for the cynical, antihero character.

Wonderful

This is one of the funniest fantasy books I've ever read. Brilliantly done!

Read this book today!

This was one of the first science fiction books I picked up off the bookshelves. It was the one that got me hooked. It's a great, entertaining blend of science fiction and fantasy starring a streetwise, one-eyed cat out to solve a murder mystery. I strongly recommend this book to any science fiction or mystery reader.

Read this book!

If you liked Brin's Uplift Series, you'll like this story. Man has found a way to raise the intelligence of animals and making them thinking, reasoning beings (i'm not gonna tell you how), and of course this brings on a whole new set of social problems. Read the book. It was a fun read, I read it through in only two sittings. Simon Hawke has written a humorous and entertaining tale. Catseye was a great character, callus with a wicked sence of irony. The book had me laughing out loud.

Fantastic and magic is well explained

This book is great. While cat books seem to be "in style" this one is different. There is an explanation for why the "cat" is able to solve mysteries, talk, etc.(I won't give that one away!) He is like his favorite detectives, Mike Hammer and Travis McGee. I hope there is a sequel to this one!!!
